Motorhome

  We weren't in the market for a motorhome, but there it was, only 200 bucks!  Drove past it a few times, it was on one of our commonly used routes.  It's ugly.  We weren't even going to bother, you could tell it doesn't run.  One day, Jeremy was on his way home from running an errand, and had to stop because of an accident, so he decided to take a look.  Not too bad on the inside, he thought.  He came home and eventually talked me(Rhonda) into taking a look.  Not too bad on the inside.  We decided that even if it never runs again, at least it could be fun for the kids. 


Yes, ugly on the outside.  It was a hunting camp.  They tarred the hell outta the roof.  He said it was a hot, windy day when they did it, thats why its all over the place.  I think they just did a really sloppy, half assed job with it.  Tar was not the way to go.
Its a 1970 Chevy Open Road.  Doesn't run.  Guy said he thinks it might just be the fuel pump.  We'll see...


This is what really sold me.  A sliding door, with screen in tact, on the back.  Never seen this before on a camper like this.  Love. It. 
By the way,  you can see that its plugged in.  So far most of the lights work.  Its only been here since Monday, so we haven't tried too much out yet...


Its got a nice little kitchen.  Like I said, we haven't tried out too much, but it looks like the propane hookup might be okay...and its got a big water holding tank, but we don't know anything about a pump or anything.  Thats Boris there gazing out the sliding door.

Elliot in the foreground and his cousin, Ryan, on the other side of the table.  They worked their butts off vaccuuming everything and wiping stuff down.  They slept the first night in it. 



There's a bed in the back, across from the kitchen.




The table turns into a bed, sorry, no pics of that.  There's another bed above the cab, of course.


The refrigerator, don't know if it works, and a closet next to it.  And Elliot's hand...



The cute little bathroom, complete with sink.  There's a mirror above it.  And a shower head above the toilet with a drain in the floor.  Nice...



Another view of the bed above the cab.

  2. However, with the purchasing process it does not end the worries and time you need to invest to get to know the thing you have bought. valutazione camper chausson
